I was at the Pretoria Archives yesterday, staff was helpful and even the computer system at the Archives gave a whole bunch of us problems, they couldn't give me an answer about when it would be fixed properly. I am going back there next week so hopefully I can speak to someone that's maybe in the Know and find out what's wrong with their system. Regards, Storm This message is private and confidential.
